Moreover, if you want your new breasts to look and feel as natural as possible, these five elements have a big role to play.

• Size and Shape of Implant

When it comes to having breast implants that are natural-looking in every way, the factors like the right shape and size of the implants are very important. Many people have a notion that bigger breasts are always better and they look perkier, but this is not always true for every patient. In many cases, large or bigger sized implants may not look the best aesthetically for your body. . Hence while considering the size and shape of the implants, the key is to forget about the cup sizes and brassiere measurements and instead focus on various implant sizes and shapes that that has a balanced appearance with the body. Even if you have a particular cup size in mind, at times after discussing with your surgeon you will find out that it just won’t work in conjunction with your body proportions.

However, some of the things that should be considered while confirming the type and size of implants are:

• Medical history of the patient

• Goals and desired results of the patient

• existing breast tissues

• Body frame and mass

• Incision placement preferences of the patient

So you can understand why choosing the implant shape for your body, on the basis of age, and sizes are very important. You should also keep in mind some other factors, like the way you want yourself to appear or your fitness routines, or if you have any risks of back pain while choosing the right implant.

However, if you choose the certified and skilled plastic surgeon, they can help you make the best decision as to which implant size will give you the best, natural-looking results you have always dreamed of.

• Implant Spacing

Implant spacing determines where the implants are placed on your chest. Though subtle but it makes a significant difference about how your breasts will look once the surgery is over. However, if the space between the implants is too much, the gap between your breasts will also be unnaturally large. On the other hand, if the space between the implants is too little, it can cause the cleavage to look artificial and in many cases, it may lead to a problem called skin tenting, wherein the skin of the place between the breasts pulls away from the breast bone. The best implant spacing for your body depends on the structure of your body, which cannot be changed by any means. For example, the size of the breast bone or the sizes of your chest wall are the things your surgeon would not be able to change.

• Choosing The Right Place Of The Implant

When the concept of breast implants was relatively very new in the world of cosmetic surgery, over-the-muscle placement was quite a common procedure, but presently, most surgeons agree that breast implants which remain under-the-muscle offer a more natural-looking breast shape. In breast augmentation surgeries which are performed with under-the-muscle technique, the breast implants are placed under the pectoral muscle, and this gives the patient augmented breast with a more natural shape and feel with better size and firmer shape. There is also another benefit of under-the-muscle surgery and that is less visible scars. When the implants are placed under the muscle there are lesser risk of problems such as skin rippling and stretching or drooping of the breasts. Even though under-the-muscle placement is generally considered the best option, it is not necessarily that it will be ideal for everybody. The best placement technique actually depends on the breast size of the patient and the breast tissue as well as some other factors. Hence it is important to talk with your surgeon during your consultation about the right place of the implant.

• Implant Material

There are many options of breast implants that are available which are made of saline water and silicone. Of all the varieties available silicone implants can give the most natural-looking and natural-feeling breasts. Silicone implants are slightly costlier than saline, but they are made of highly viscous gel, which makes them much softer. Silicone implants can also retain their shape more effectively than saline implants, and they have fewer chances of getting wrinkles. In fact, many people are unable to distinguish silicone implants from natural breasts, because of the look and feel that are almost exactly the same in both. This feature makes silicone implants a popular choice for many women who are considering having breast implants. Though silicone implants are the most popular choice, it is still very important to discuss your choice with your consulting surgeon, so that both of you stay prepared for any consequences of the surgery.

• The Choice of Surgeon

All the elements that have been discussed above are indispensable and highly influence the look and feel of the breast implants. So if you desire to have new breasts that look and feel almost natural, then you must pay close attention to these factors without fail. However, there is one last element that is equally important. A skilled and experienced surgeon is the final essential point which you should never miss. In order to get the best possible results, you must choose a surgeon who is certified by the medical board and who is experienced enough in performing the kind of breast augmentation surgery that you want. However, since there are a number of factors that help in determining the best implants, as a patient you must consider all of them together, rather than considering them individually. Finally always make sure that your implants look as natural as possible, and for that discuss your body goals with your consulting surgeon!
